JUVENILE OFFENDING — REGIONS
433. Hon NEIL THOMSON to the minister representing the
Minister for Police:
I refer to juvenile crime in the
towns of Kununurra, Fitzroy Crossing, Broome, Port Hedland, Carnarvon and Kalgoorlie,
combining the urban suburbs of each regional centre.
(1) What was the
number of juvenile offences recorded in each of the regional locations annually
since 2015?
(2) What was the
number of juvenile cautions—listed separately, oral or written—issued
in each of those regional locations annually since 2015?
(3) How many juveniles faced court
as a result of charges in those locations annually?
(4) Of those who
faced court, how many resulted in juvenile detention—total number of
days in detention for each location?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following information has been provided to me
by the Minister for Police.
A response to this question cannot
be provided within the required time frame. The honourable member may wish to
place the question on notice. Honourable member, a great deal of detail is
required over six years. For the future, the easiest thing to do is to put
these types of questions on notice and the member will get an answer.
